Lipase is activated by colipase, a coenzyme that binds to the C-terminal, non-catalytic domain of lipase. Colipase must be present for activation of lipase and acts as a bridge between lipase and the lipid.  When colipase binds, active lipase is stabilized for the hydrophobic interaction with triacylglycerides <ref>Fundamentals of Biochemistry...</ref>.    Without colipase present, the accumulation of amphiphiles at the oil/water interface in the duodenum would prevent pancreatic lipase from binding. <ref>Crandall,W., Lowe, M.
